Parsnip - Pastinaca sativa is still less used vegetables. TSW is 4-5 g, 200-250 seeds in 1g. It is grown for roots that are very similar to parsley, taste like carrots. However, compared to carrots they contain more vitamin C - 180 mg per 1000 g, and other vitamins contain vitamin E and B 12. Parsnip is the crop of the second track, easy to grow, suits him more humid ground, it also works in the higher positions, with a slight shadow. It requires deep, loamy sandy soil with plenty of humus, fresh fertilization adversely affects storage ability. We sow early on spring in the lines 30 cm distant, sort in the lines to 4-7 cm. We are harvesting in autumn, well overwintering on the bed.
